It became the band&rsquo;s signature song and biggest commercial hit, reaching number two on the US Billboard Hot 100 in early 1987. Decades on, it&rsquo;s held up as a kind of enduring comfort anthem, returned to again and again on radio and in tribute performances whenever people need something gentle to hold onto.</p>
